Original Song Lyrics

BURNING DESIRE

The cascading roar of the waterfalls

The sound of thunder from afar

Listening to the steady pounding of the drums

Watching the blazing trail of a falling star

Eyes opening wider now

Ears straining harder still to hear

When like an eagle circling in the sky

 Searching becomes perfectly clear

Drawn like a moth to a flame

Close enough to feel the heat

Burning desire for His Word

Longing for eyes to one day meet

Time is standing still now

Like every breath has been put on hold

Heart's rythym is on a mission

A clearer view yet to unfold

There's no place like Home, Lord

With You is where I long to be

Journey here is almost over

I've seen all I care to see

So weary, Lord, and thirsty

To drink from The Living Well

I'll meet You in the air, Lord

With You forever more to dwell

THERE'S JESUS

Verse:

When He first … came into my life

I was down … and empty inside

Had no one … no place to go

Then a voice inside my head

Said there’s One you need to know

That’s Jesus

Verse:

I looked deep … inside my soul

Had He been there … all along

Did He see … me when I cried

Then that voice inside my head

Said there’s nothing you can hide

From Jesus

Chorus:

Why did it take so long

Before my heart was opened wide

For me to see the truth

And stop believing all those lies

When I had sunk so low

And was thinking nobody cared

There’s Jesus

Music Break:

Verse:

Now I am His … and His alone

Filled with joy … and peaceful inside

Have His love .. He gave me a home

Now that voice inside my head

Is telling me how much I've grown

In Jesus

Chorus:

Why did it take so long

Before my heart was opened wide

For me to see the truth

And stop believing all those lies

When I had sunk so low

And was thinking nobody cared

There’s Jesus

There’s Jesus

There’s Jesus

Mmm Mmm

There’s Jesus

IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS

Verse:

When I wake up in the morning

I need to spend more time with Him

In prayer and praise

And thanking Him for each day

Nothing else should matter

Everything else can wait

Because it’s all about Jesus

And the way to Him is strait

Chorus:

Where does the time go

It seems to pass on by so quickly

There’s a million reasons why

We should spend the time we’re given wisely

Always looking beyond the stars

Where the Son is shining brightly

Because it’s all about Jesus

It’s all about Him

Verse:

We should forget all our troubles

And worries here on earth

He is the Alpha and Omega

It’s been that way since birth

All our time should be spent for Him

In everything we do

Because it’s all about Jesus

Today and each day through

 Chorus:

Where does the time go

It seems to pass on by so quickly

There’s a million reasons why

We should spend the time we’re given wisely

Always looking beyond the stars

Where the Son is shining brightly

Because it’s all about Jesus

It’s all about Him

You know it's all about Jesus

It's all about Him

COULD ANYONE ASK 

FOR ANYTHING MORE

Pink clouds show off their reflections

As they drift by agelessly

Soft breezes gently stirring

Waves lapping at the shore

Children running to and fro

Could anyone ask for anything more

Then a Guitar Man starts picking

An old familiar tune

And a mandolin, chimes right in

As a singer begins to croon

I can only imagine

What it'll be like on that other shore

When He takes me by the hand

And walks me through that golden sand

I won't remember

Anything that came before

Eyes closed, listening

To nature at it's best

Birds circling ore the water

Before they head home to their nest

My heart is filled with longing

To see my heavenly home

Celestial choirs will be singing

I'll be home at last

Never, evermore to roam

I AM JUST A SHADOW

I am just a shadow

Following Him around

When His light is shining brightly

Look down, there I'll be found

Gliding down some lonely roads

Past locusts verbal in the trees

He knows where we are going

I trust where He takes me

Following in His footsteps

Where He leads, I gladly go

From baby steps to giant steps

Is the only way I know

For I am just a shadow

Unseen without His Light

To bring me out of darkness

Now made perfect in His sight

SHADOWS ON THE WATER

Shadows on the water

Floating gracefully

Pink clouds show off their reflections

As they drift by agelessly

Soft breezes gently stirring

Waves lapping at the shore

Children running to and fro

Could anyone ask for anything more

Then a Guitar Man starts picking

An old familiar tune

And a mandolin, chimes right in

As a singer begins to croon

I can only imagine

What it'll be like on that other shore

When He takes me by the hand

And walks me through that golden sand

I won't remember

Anything that came before

Eyes closed, listening

To nature at it's best

Birds circling ore the water

Before they head home to their nest

My heart is filled with longing

To see my heavenly home

Celestial choirs will be singing

I'll be home at last

Never evermore to roam

MY LORD AND ME

Lying down in a meadow

Like velvet beneath my head

Basking in all His Glory

Having drunk the blood that He shed

Listening to the Angels sing

What glorious sounds

Like the wind chimes dancing in the breeze

All around me resounds

Colors so brilliant

One would think they would blind

Yet they flow through one's being

The way God so divined

Then I see Him walking towards me

Oh My Lord, I cannot move

His Light so overwhelmes me

Though my heart He did approve

All I can do, is bow before Him

Weeping and praising His Holy name

So thankful that He made me worthy

No more blame, and no more shame

Now I can walk beside Him

Each day for all eternity

Not mountains high, nor earth nor sea 

Will stand between my Lord and me

HE'LL RAISE YOU OUT OF THAT VALLEY

Going down in the valley

With Him by my side

Many miles we have traveled

He's held me close when I've cried

I've had losses with heartache

Feelings of being ripped apart

He never took His eyes off me

He kept His hand on my heart

He was always there to lean on

Through the good and the bad

His Love never changes

Whether happy or sad

He'll stay with you in your valleys

And hold you up when you fall

He'll raise you out of that valley

No matter how big or small

Open up to His Presence

Receive the joy that He gives

Welcome Him with Thanksgiving

Share the Good News that He Lives

  THE SON IS RISING

The Son is rising above the clouds

The night is turning into day

The fog is lifting from my eyes

The colors I see now

Are no longer grey.

My mind travels back

To a time long ago

When the Bible was believed

When we read that you reap what you sow.

It seems we all take for granted

The words of our King

For when we follow our own will

His Words don't mean a thing.

CHORUS:

I speak the truth

That He laid on my heart

Conviction weighs heavy

When I too take part

In gossip and judgement

That is not mine to give

So I surrender my will

Because I do want to live

And be pleasing in His sight

So I will try with all my might

To honor and obey the one true God above

I won't let anything come between me

And Him that I love.

The Lord giveth

And He taketh away

When He sent His Son Jesus

He knew that He could not stay

The gift that He gave us

Had to die on the Cross

Showing how much He loved us

No matter the cost.

REPEAT CHORUS:

The Lord giveth and He taketh away

When He sent His Son Jesus

He knew that He could not stay.

I won't let anything come between me

And Him that I love.

Rom 8:39............ "(Nothing can) separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
